PAKTITION FOR VANITY CASES.

Application filed October 14, 1920.

To all whom if may conccmt:

Be it known that I, lVILLTAM G. KENDALL, a citizen of the United Statesresiding at llewarlr, in the county of Essex and State of New Jersey.have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Partitions forVanity Cases, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in vanity cases and moreparticularly to an improved partition for a case of that type which isdesigned to contain two compressed powder pads.

One of the objects of the invention is to provide a partition which maybe readily formed "from a sheet metal blank and which will beinexpensive to manufacture and substantial and durable.

Another object of the invention is to provi de a partition member whichwill be inconspicuous and which yet will be adapted to effectuallyperform its functions of dividing the interior of the body of the vanitycase into two compartments to individually receive the compressed powderpads.

in the accompanying drawing:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a vanity case equipped with thepartition embodying the invention;

Figure 2 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the body ofthe case and the partition disposed therein;

Figure 3 is a perspective view of the partition removed from the case.

In the drawings the body of the case is indicated in general by thenumeral 1 and the usual hinged lid by the numeral 2. these parts beingof the ordinary well-known construction. The numeral indicates thecompressed powder pads which are to be retained within the case withinthe compartments afforded by the disposal of the partition within thebody of the case the partition being indicated in general by the numerali.

The partition embodying the invention comprises two side members whichare indicated by the numeral 5 and which are of arcuate form, themembers having their con- Serial No. 416,848.

disposed in opposing relation so concaved sides will be adapted toembrace or partially circumscribe he adjacent sides of the compressedpowder pads 3 between which the partition is arranged within the body ofthe vanity case. The side members 5 or the partition are con nected attheir lower edges by an integral web portion which indicated by thenumeral 6 and which may extend throughout any desired portion of thelength of the members 5 in order to suitab y connect and relativelybrace the members. The web 6 is flat and preferably occupiessubstantially the same plane as t rat occupied by the lower edges oi thesaid side members 5 so that it, together with the said edges, wil restupon the uppe face ot the bottom oi the body of the vanity case when thepartition is disposed within the said body in the position shown inFigures 1 and 2 oi the drawings. l fhen the partition member is sodisposed within the case the extremities of its side members 5 willengage against the front and rear walls of the said body of the case andthus the partition will be retained against displacement.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new is:

1. A partition for vanity cases and the like comprising side membersformed to embrace articles to be retained within the case and a webconnecting the said side members.

2. A partition for vanity cases and the like comprising side membersformed to embrace articles to be retainedwithin the case and a webintegrally connecting the lower edges of the said side members.

3. ii partition for vanity cases and the like comprising arcuate sidemembers havtheir convex sides presented in opposition to ea h other andtheir concave sides VVILLlAh I G. KENDALL.
